  3. Click Save.

The event page will indicate that a password is enabled by the green "On" icon.



What Happens When a Password is Applied?

When a password is applied to an event:

  • Enhanced Privacy: Users who attempt to access your event's landing page will be prompted to enter the password before viewing any event details or RSVP options.
  • Attendee Experience:
    • Clicking the "Add to Calendar" button or links associated with the event will redirect users to the event’s landing page.
    • Users must enter the correct password to proceed and view the event landing page and its details..
    • Without the correct password, users cannot access the event details or the RSVP functionality.

Why Use a Password for Your Event?

Applying a password helps maintain privacy and restrict access to your event. This is particularly useful for:

  • Private Events: Allows only invited attendees to view event details or RSVP.
  • Confidential Information: Protecting events with sensitive content.
  • Restricted Attendance: Controlling who can participate, especially for exclusive or high-profile events.

Adding a password is an effective way to manage privacy and provide an extra layer of control over your event’s visibility.
